Chapter 21 The Tung Tree

Panzi saw us coming out and said, "What do you see, I see you going to stay in that place for a long time." ”

I said, "We're arguing about the identity of a big stone figurine." ”

Panzi let out an "oh", and then said, "Come, let's keep walking." ”

There was nothing to say on the road, we walked for a while in the pit on the right, and it was estimated that for more than half an hour, all three pits came to an end. I used to think that the three tunnels were several kilometers long, but now I guess this burial chamber, no, it should be said that the cave should not be much bigger than a football field. It doesn't take long to get out of the hole. The previous estimate was a bit overestimated, which is really a miscalculation.

I said, "We estimated it to be too big, and this space should be the size of a football field." ”

Professor Su said, "That's not small, it's enough for us to go." The others didn't speak.

Gradually some silhouettes appeared in front of us, and a huge object stood in front of us, not knowing how far away, only that it was large. The fat man seemed to see it too, and "looked" the fat man said. All eyes were fixed on it, and we immediately picked up our pace and ran towards it.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm shocked when I see it, I don't know if I don't see it, the world is really wonderful. That's right, this behemoth makes the big stone general seem a lot smaller, the first time I've seen this kind of big thing, no, I should say it's the second time I've seen it, but it's much bigger than it, not as stingy as it, is there any connection between the two?

Xiao Liu suddenly said: "It's so big, this is an extraordinary thing." ”

It was also the first time Pan Zi saw this thing and stared at it for a long time, and suddenly said to the stuffy oil bottle: "Do you know it? ”

The stuffy oil bottle said: "This, bronze, if you want to see clearly, just open two signal flares and take a look." Then the bottle stopped talking, but watched quietly.

I looked at it and said, "How is such a big bronze refined?" ”

Professor Su said: "This is the largest bronze I have ever seen, it is much bigger than the green tung tree in Sanxingdui, and I need to study it carefully." ”

Sanshui winked at his buddy, and one of the people in the crowd took a flare and fired three times at the sky. In front of the strong light, the light of all the flashlights seemed very faint, this is a green tung tree, this green tung tree can only be held by five people, and it is fifty or sixty meters high. In the light of the flares, it looks green, like the glazed tiles of ancient buildings.

The three signal flares fell in an instant, and the entire space became dark and empty, and Pan Zi fired three more shots, and this time we saw his entire appearance clearly.

The tung tree is composed of branches and leaves of different thicknesses, and the number is too large to be examined, and there is a bird on each branch, and there are flowers on the branches. Moreover, the whole tung tree is not one, which is also normal, and it is impossible for a fifty or sixty meter-high tung tree to be unmade at one time, and even with the current technology, it is impossible to shape and manufacture the entire tung tree at one time. There was a fine mark every other distance when I got to the bronze tree, which proved that I guessed correctly, and there were many more patterns on the green tung tree, which I had never seen. There are nine bronze statues kneeling under the green tree, each in armor, their eyes are particularly large, and their faces are serious.

Professor Su said: "You see, this green tung tree in the culture of Bashu represents the meaning of the ladder of heaven, from the bronze can ascend to the heavenly court, and in Sanxingdui unearthed several bronze god trees can also see flourishing branches and leaves, flowers and statues of birds and beasts, around the circular tree base there are bronze warriors kneeling outward, this green tung tree naturally has its special significance."

Professor Su said: "Bashu sacrifices have been wild sacrifices, like this kind of large-scale formal sacrificial activities, generally represent the emperor's sacrifice, Bashu's sacrifice is naturally indispensable to the sorcerer, the development of China's early Taoism is also inseparable from the Bashu witchcraft, many things are derived from the Bashu witchcraft, divination, such as the use of talismans, and use it as a way to dissolve, disgusted, suppress evil and other methods, the form, composition and usage, meaning, and even the magic ceremony are developed on the basis of "Bashu symbols" and "Bashu symbol seals". ”

Professor Su continued: "According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Classic of the South of the Sea": "There is a wood, which is like a cow, and it has skin, such as a tassel and a yellow snake. Its leaves are like Luo, in fact, such as Luan, its wood is like a fuss, and its name is Jianmu. There is also the same record in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, Classic of the Sea", which is annotated: "The green leaves of the building tree, the purple stem, the black flower, and the yellow fruit, there is no sound under it, and there is no shadow in it." ”

The location and function of "Jianmu" are also explained in detail in the "Huainanzi Topographical Chapter": "Jianmu is in the capital, and the emperors are from top to bottom, there is no scenery in the day, and there is no sound in the breath, covering the heaven and the earth." In other words, Jianmu belongs to the "ladder of heaven", which is a channel that facilitates the emperor to travel between the earth and heaven. There is the following record in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Classic of the Sea": "Between the black water and the blue water in the southwest, there are wide fields...... The birds sing by themselves, the phoenix birds are self-dressed, the spirit of longevity is produced, and the plants and trees gather. There are hundreds of beasts in the robe, and they are in the same group. This grass also does not die in winter and summer. ”

The records in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the Sea" coincide with the records in the "Huainanzi Topography". It can be seen that the location of Jianmu is the field of Duguang, which refers to the Chengdu Plain, that is, the center of Shu. The form of the building wood is consistent with the bronze sacred tree unearthed from the Sanxingdui sacrificial pit. The "silent sound" and "no sound" recorded in the literature refer to the fact that it is made of bronze. From this, it is known that the bronze god tree refers to Jianmu, that is, the ladder of the Shu people.

The fat man suddenly said: "Actually, the ancients were quite superstitious in their hearts, if the green tung tree can really make people climb to the sky, build more, let everyone climb to the sky." “

I said, "People are like that, the ancient people believed in metaphysics, and the modern people believed in science in the same way, an era and a product, and after thousands of years in the future, there will be a kind of learning, and they will still laugh at the ancients and us modern people, and laugh at our modern people's science is pedantic and feudal, history is like this, everything is a floating cloud in front of the universe." “

The fat man said: "I don't understand the big truth you said, what ancient people, modern people, and future people are all human beings anyway, and I don't understand what you say." “

Alice smiled and said, "Hehehe, Mr. Wu still understands a lot of life philosophy." ”

I smiled and didn't say anything.

Bob said: "Then the status of these nine warriors should not be low, such a sacred place, guarded by nine warriors, waiting for the emperor's ascension, but, I don't know which emperor." “

The fat man laughed: "Hahaha, of course it's the Bashu Emperor." “

I exclaimed, "Isn't this nonsense? It can also be Qin Shi Huang. “

Frank heard it and said, "It's really hard to say, this, this, it's Qin Shi Huang." “

Bob glanced at Frank, "Don't make a fuss, get down to business." “

Professor Su said: "This tung tree, is composed of a section, not welded, not glued, but spliced, just like the ancient stools and tables, are spliced together, Lu Ban has made a lot of wood to make things, they bite each other, these things are stronger than nails, Lu Ban used the knowledge of physics, however, there was no such name at that time, the green tung tree of Bashu and his principle of making things is the same. “

I said, "Well, this occlusion technique in ancient times is indeed admirable, and this technique is still used today, so it can be seen that this technique is not backward." “

Alice came over and said: "That is, modern people, especially you Chinese, mercenary, merchants are the smallest capital in exchange for the maximum profit, this method of small consumables is very useful, there are too many copycat things, the whole world can not find a second country like China." “

I said, "We don't call it a copycat, we should call it absorption and innovation, do you think there are several countries in the whole world that can develop manned spacecraft?" “

Alice said, "Three, then you are also a copycat." ”

Alice also wanted to say, I took the first step to say: "That's not it, in addition to the United States and Russia, it is China, this can't be called a copycat, it should be called innovation, only by completely imitating his brand and his technology is called a copycat, our Shenzhou spacecraft has a lot of innovation that Russia and the United States do not have." ”

Alice said unconvinced: "You are amazing, I can't tell you, you won." "I ignored Alice and continued to study the paulownia tree.

I suddenly felt as if I had misjudged, the center of this burial chamber should be this paulownia tree, because I saw that there was still a lot of space behind the paulownia tree, and it was pitch black and I couldn't see clearly, but this burial chamber was the largest I saw now, and it was actually a cave.

Professor Su said: "The bird is the totem of Shu, and the emperor of Shu is the name of the bird as the prototype, then the tomb owner here should also be a Shu person, the bird on the green tung tree is proof, and Du Yu of Shu is also the legend of Emperor Wang's death He also became a bird, which is also related to the totem of Shu." “

Bob said: "I feel that the totem of Shu and the totem of Pakistan should be mutually beneficial, and they should be the same." “

Professor Su said: "Many people often regard Bashu as a country, thinking that Shu is Ba, Ba is Shu, this is a misunderstanding, they are two independent countries, they only see each other have cultural exchanges, there are also military wars, and later the two countries merged, but the local people are still based on their own national culture. “

The fat man said, "Oh, I always thought of them as a country, and it turned out that they only became a country later." “

Pan Zi said: "Okay, this green tung tree proves the noble identity of the tomb owner, he is a generation of emperors." ”

Sanshui said: "Now that we know it, it's not interesting to study it carefully, let's go." ”

Frank said, "Wait, wait, there's no mechanism for this bronze tree, or there's anything around it." “

The fat man said, "Are you scared by the authorities, hahaha." “

I said, "It's necessary to worry, after all, it's better to be careful, no one can say if there is a mechanism around here." “

Bob said: "I don't think you have been walking in this tomb for so long, you shouldn't be able to have it, this is a sacred place of sacrifice, there shouldn't be a mechanism." "It's hard to say whether there is an organ now, and it's hard to say if there may be more dangerous things, think about it," Professor Su said.

Alice said: "That's right, what will be here, nothing, we don't know, militarily speaking, knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, right, Xiao Wu." I nodded in confirmation.

Everyone was silent, because the previous encounter was a pure fluke to survive.

Pan Zi said: "It's good to be vigilant, everyone is sober. ”

I also don't think there should be any mechanism around here. But when I think of what the little brother said, there is something more dangerous happening ahead, can you deal with it? This is just the beginning, and the whole chamber is a dead end no matter how you go. These words, there are words in the words, I think there is another hidden secret, now there are many people who are not good to ask the bottle, and when there are fewer people, I think of the stuffy oil bottle and say that it is just his guess to comfort himself.

There is still a long road ahead, the only purpose is to survive, and the second purpose is to fight backwards.
